Hi ,
After going through your history, you have few Plus & few Minus points
Plus points - You have 2 children, your periods are regular ( 28 +/- 7 days are normal
Minus points - Age of 40 rs , Endometriosis.
But your overall chances for next pregnancy is very good. As your age is ticking , don't waste time with small steps, after 40 yrs pregnancy chances fall very steep.
Kindly get tubal patency tested by HSG ( X--ray with dye) or SSG ( Scan with dye) or laparoscopy.
Endometriosis & previous deliveries & even mild vaginal infections can block the openings of the tube . If blocked, no matter how healthy , egg & sperms will not meet. This cannot be seen on ultrasound scans.
All the best
